Climate

As part of the Southeast Asia family, Cambodia's tropical climate is largely determined by the monsoons. This means that it's going to be either wet or dry depending on the season. The rainy season is usually brought about by the southwest monsoon which usually occurs from mid-May to early October; the southwest monsoon bringing about moisture-filled air that's driven from the Indian Ocean. It's typically dry in Cambodia from early November to March due to the northwest monsoon's flow of drier and cooler air. In between the two seasons, you won't be seeing much change in temperature but do expect some difference when it comes to humidity levels.

You know the drill: Light and thin clothing when it's dry to combat humidity and bring your umbrella out with you during the rainy season.
